Abstract

FN1 (1) and FN2 (2), cycloadducts of α-ketol octadecadienoic acid (3) with norepinephrine (NE), induce flowering in Lemna paucicostata. In order to broaden our understanding of structural requirements of FN for flower induction, nine analogs of 3 (4–12) were synthesized and reacted with NE under basic conditions. These analogs, except for 8, 10, and 12, exhibited significant activity regarding to floral induction in L. paucicostata. Similar ...
